Reducing knee lever slack on GFI Ultra
Posted: 9 Sep 2009 8:08 pm
OK quick question. I have only ever played one pedal steel, which is my GFI Ultra s-10. It works fine as far as I can tell, staying in tune and all that.
The one complaint I have about it is the 'slack' in the knee levers. What I mean by this is that all the levers are 'loose', moving both sideways and back and forth when wiggled. Obviously this makes little difference to my playing, but it makes the instrument a bit noisier than it could be.
Here is one of the knee levers.
As you can see, there is a little screw on either side of the lever to adjust this movement.
My question is this: is it set this way for a reason, or should I move that screw in so that there is no more slack? [/url]
